A friend recommended Justin to me when I told her about some difficulties I was having with my supervisor at work. I hired him to offer strategic advice as I navigated a toxic workplace environment over the course of two years. He did an excellent job of advising me on how to survive in my job as long as I needed to and ultimately leave under ideal circumstances. He was also particularly sensitive to issues related to diversity and inclusion. I would recommend Justin to anyone.
Justin provided outstanding legal services. He was very quick to respond and thorough with his review of documents and wotk situations as they arose. He provided excellent counsel on how to effectively navigate difficult meetings and situations. I highly recommend Justin.
I hired Justin to represent me in a whistleblower case. Justin worked on my behalf with state and federal agencies to move the case forward and negotiate a fair settlement. He was an excellent communicator and provided information to myself as the case progressed. I am grateful for all the diligent work that he put in on the case and would highly recommend him to any person looking for this type of lawyer.
I was a client of Justin Cummins. Justin successfully negotiated my severance package during a layoff. He was highly knowledgeable, professional and extremely responsive.
I retained Mr. Cummins for an employer situation. As a person who has a chronic illness, I appreciated his patience and understanding. He explained things to me clearly so I could easily understand. By telling me what to write and say, we were able to halt the harassment. Justin is a very good strategist. He is able to see the problem from different angles and make the appropriate defense. I highly recommend Justin to anyone who desires a competent, professional, and caring attorney!
I engaged with Justin after getting his name as a referral from an attorney friend of mine. While my friend had a handful of names he "highly recommended" that we get in touch with Justin. I was recently dismissed from a company I had worked many years with and needed help with negotiations on a severance package and discharge paperwork. Justin was very professional and helped me understand both sides before spending time on the final paperwork and severance package. He gave me strategic direction from the moment we spoke through the final paperwork and was responsive whenever I had a question or concern. I spoke with many attorneys that made what I thought were unrealistic promises and/or demands that would have made this very unpleasant while Justin stayed focused on a winning strategy without long, drawn out litigation. I felt he had my best interest in mind at all times I would highly recommend his services.
I engaged Justin Cummins to help me with an employment issue I experienced related to losing a relatively new position. Justin was incredibly professional and clearly had broad and deep expertise in employment law. In addition to his outstanding expertise, Justin has a number of qualities that sets him apart from all other attorneys I have worked with in this space. Justin is very caring. I felt so comfortable even in our very first meeting that he would have my back and truly cared about me and my situation. Additionally, Justin is a great strategist. He took the time to really plan and strategize with me to secure the best outcome possible. He offered multiple options for pursing my case. I was grateful that he was very keen on helping me do as much of the work as I could to minimize expense. He is a great coach and is able to explain complex concepts concisely and clearly. He is also an excellent negotiator. When he was in communications with opposing council he kept me 100% informed regarding conversations that were transpiring, which made me feel very much in the loop. He secured a highly favorable outcome for me. I highly recommend Justin and his firm Cummins and Cummins.
Justin's service, caring, responsiveness, strategies, and advice was excellent. With Justin's help and guidance we were able to meet the positive out come I was looking for.
Justin listened to all circumstances surrounding my case and was able to quickly point me in the right direction by presenting legal options along with risks and benefits. I felt I was in good hands and am happy with the outcome of my case. I recommend him highly. Sahar
Justin is expensive, but worth it! I was going up against a Fortune 500 company, and needed a powerful ally on my side. I found one in Justin, who patiently walked me through exactly what to say and how to say it. The outcome, while not spectacular, was definitely better than what was first offered by the company.
